Thanks again, Todd. I'm curious as to what "The Terrapin" is
all about, but all I can do for now is cross my fingers and
hope that no one has beaten me to the book. Now, THAT is
suspenseful. *laughs*
I've yet to read Highsmith, though I have a copy of The
Talented Mr. Ripley here, bundled with several other novels
in the two-volume Library of America Crime Novels set.
Perhaps when I finish The Night has a Thousand Eyes, I'll get
cracking on I Married a Dead Man before I get to
Ripley.
I also found more details on A Century of British Mystery and
Suspense, that other anthology I was looking for. It's a 2000
anthology edited and introduced by Anne Perry and was
published by The Mystery Guild

. No one got a copy of that here?
